Date: July 28 or 29, 1962
Location: Badaja Grande, Entre Rios, Argentina
Time:
Summary: Amidst a flap of flying saucer sightings and creatures encounters, the national newspaper La Razon reported that Ricardo Mieres, 17, student at the Parana National College, while en route in his car to Badaja Grande, about 5 kilometers from Parana, near the cement plant, saw a very tall being with a watermelon-large head, long almost white hair, with three unblinking eyes with fixed stare. The young man stated that in his haste to flee, his motor stalled for an unknown reason. The strange creature approached and violently wrenched away his scarf after which, turning in a circle like a “robot,” it left the scene leaving footprints in the sand. The student managed to start the car after the strange creature disappeared. He drove quickly to the center of the city of Parana. In the public at “Plaza de Mayo“, Mieres organized an expedition with friends on motorcyles to accompany him on the spot of his strange experience where the scarf and footprints were observed. Other persons testified that they had seen a strange glow from a space vehicle flying at low altitude which vanished at very high speed.
